"John's passion for food, cooking, and assisting others is absolutely contagious and his kind, gentle way of teaching the principles of Ayurvedic cooking make it easy to fall in love with them. I personally was very inspired by the workshop and look forward to continuing this process of learning and getting well."
"I wish to expand upon our conversation regarding you as a teacher.
You are a good instructor because you create an atmosphere where the student wishes to learn; this is the mark of a great teacher. Good teachers are born, not created. You add humor to your classes making it easier to remember some of the details. Your presentations are concise, to the point, and in a good order for better understanding. Going off the subject occasionally with a short story relieves the brain, a thing some instructors forget about.
You're a good person, John, and a good instructor; lord knows I've had enough of them along with professors. I expect details, explanations, and fullness of the subject matter and permission to speak up with questions. The idea of teaching is for people to understand to the point they no longer need you.
Be kind to yourself and
Know you are loved,

"Through this eating plan I was better able to deal with the frustration my unexpected job loss last week. I stopped eating the heavy meats,dairy, and wheat. The new eating plan came exactly when it was needed and is another proof to me that everything happens in a perfect order. Yes you can share my feed back."
"Thank you, John, for another fabulous class!!! I'm learning so much right now and love how these changes are impacting my body, my experience. I very much appreciate all that you are sharing with us and look forward to learning more. The food was awesome and I feel great today!"
"Hey John! I just want to thank you again for the really awesome class yesterday. You really helped put things in a great perspective for me, and it's truly opened up a whole new level of healing and being for me. Thank you so much! You are very inspirational, motivating and grounding!"
"You make ayurveda fun. It is easier to learn when fun. A big thank you. This is the sign of a good teacher. Thank you also for making me laugh."
"I feel so much more confident working with my healthy eating/living clients, and my cleanse programs have grown to incorporate more personalized plans and a focus on digestive health as the root of balanced health. Im excited to have more knowledge and tools to serve my clients!"
"I love your classes, John! I find you very inspirational. You have a glowing passion and simple wisdom about you. I love that your business is called Joyful Belly. That goes back to that cosmic giggle thing. I feel like your smile and enthusiasm is like a joyful belly - the radiance makes others smile and laugh! Your ability to pinpoint reality and human nature is just amazing. True medicine, and I truly appreciate you sharing!"
"John, I really enjoyed your cooking class and would be happy to attend more like it."
"Hi John:
Your consultation was so helpful for me to understand my bodies reaction to food. Since our meeting I have been continuing to build this connection between certain foods an the reaction within my body. The herbs have been working well. I have been losing about a pound a week and notice a drastic difference in my metabolism. Talk to you soon and thank you for changing my life!

"Hi John, I am enjoying the herbs greatly and wanted to thank you for having such a open and honest session with me. It was a lovely experience."
"Lemon juice sounds like a great idea Aggie! Try it out!"
"One of the most important things you said is not to follow a recipe so strictly. I was making something today, and had that in mind. It is freeing and something I need to feel and to know that I can actually let things flow - and it doesn't HAVE TO come out a certain way."
"yes! I do feel better."
"John,
I've made some great friends and connections through this program. It has been a great way to bring people together from all walks of life and areas of the world!
Thanks so much!

"John did a wonderful job in presenting completely new concepts to a varied group of students, answering questions patiently and clearly. I felt like a whole new world opened up for me, one in which my body can and will be healthy. It is attainable more easily than I initially believed. It brought back the knowledge of wholeness which can so easily slip further and further into the background with our busy lives and non-supportive patterns we find ourselves in. John's teachings about balance also reminded me that the responsibility to heal myself is in my own lap, no excuses!"
"Dear John,
Thank you for all of your email support. I'm feeling a lot better, much more grounded, balanced and am digesting better but still not putting on weight
just being patient w/ this and trying not to focus too much on it. My energy levels are much better. A friend suggested some rice protein for muscle gain. I'm doing a lot for digestion mentally, physically, and spiritually; studying Yoga of Herbs a lot and sticking to simple, easy to digest foods. If you have any ideas for weight gain I'm open to them. Thank you again so much for all the time, energy, and wisdom you've offered! I hope you're having a beautiful week!
Love and light,
